Does anyone have any written references that describe Lindy Infante's offense? Like how did it differ from Walsh & Coryell? My memory was it was similar to Walsh and differed from Coryell. Looking back at literature of the time I find it referred to as a "controlled passing" offense a...

Seems like it. Maybe he didn't know the exact specifics, but that is what I thought of.

*Kemp, Rutledge, Haden, Pastorini fun fact, Patrotini's passer rating the lowest for any QB with 140 or more attempts -- ever. And that goes back to calculating guys before it was official stat--- to guys in the 1930s that had 140 or more throws His "rate +" was 26 ... there is no way to ...

After the -3 he was at 999. the Browns punted and the 49ers, from sacks and penalties turned it over on downs at their own 1 with little time le...

I would concede that if nobody got hurt and everyone played up...

I noticed Seahawks Fever nominated Dave Brown to the Hall of the Very Good and thought are the 1975 Steelers underrated? When you're placing players like Preston Pearson on waivers in September of 1975 and making a player like Dave Brown available in the 1976 expansion draft it seems they were so t...
